    All of a sudden, Windows 7 did not go to sleep at my PC.
    Had this problem so many times already, so I became an expert in it.

    Tried all of this without any result.
    - showed the hidden Advanced Power configuration, sleep when sharing media...
    - Removed all USB cables, keyboard and mouse from PC.
    - Powercfg -energy showed that a USB device was preventing sleep.
    - Followed all the possible setting in Advanced Power Settings

    Then I did something that worked:
    In the Bios, I disabled all the on board devices....
    Then sleep worked again.
    I tried to find out which device was the culprit, but sleep just kept on working correctly after all devices were enabled again.

    Pffffff. Windows7 sleep must be 1 of the most persistent problems around.
    Well, for now it's solved again, but for how long???
